Hi there…I recently started a pixelfed.social account and got a little excited about photography…I don’t have alot of money and sometimes I get excited about new hobbies, and then they fade. I am looking for advice on buying a “sorta” decent digital camera, but not something that will break my bank if I ultimately lose interest. I guess, I’m looking for “starter gear” suggestions. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Pick a used camera. You’ll need a standard zoom so as to be flexibel. And tthen start with 1 extra lens. Either a fast prime lens (no zoom) for portrait 50mm f1.8 or a wide angle (less than 20mm) for landscape. Learn to shoot in black and white, it will help you provide some nicer shots later on. Follow the composition rules at first. Most of the time they “just work”.
Learn about light. It’s what makes or brakes a picture.
Learn not to take pictures. If it just doesn’t work, there’s no point to take a picture except as a souvenir.
